From the Daily Caller: Former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich detailed on Wednesday why he believes former President Donald Trump can convert New York, traditionally a Democratic stronghold, into a Republican win in the upcoming election.

During the “The Ingraham Angle,” host Laura Ingraham and Gingrich reacted to Trump‘s Wednesday rally on Long Island. Gingrich then described Trump as a candidate who values his home state of New York, and sees a crucial chance for change amid widespread dissatisfaction with Democratic leadership in the state.

“First of all, I think he believes he has a real chance to carry New York because of the corruption, because of the lack[sic] of liberal policies, and because of the impact of all those millions of illegal immigrants and the crime that has followed,” Gingrich told Ingraham.

“And of course, now you have a major scandal in New York City affecting the mayor, and that’s breaking at the worst possible time for Democrats. So I think that’s part of it.”

Gingrich added, “This is a guy who has TWICE avoided being killed.” He pointed to the late President Ronald Reagan, who was the last Republican to win the state of New York in 1984, and noted that Reagan had also been shot.

“They had both been shot and they had both survived and they talked about what did God intend for them. And I think my guess is that President Trump now has a deeper sense of a mission and a deeper sense of having to do what’s right for America because it’s providential that he’s still here, certainly in the shooting at Butler that came within a half inch of killing him,” Gingrich said.

“He loves the state. He loves the city. He spent most of his life there. I think he has a very deep, deep affection for New York, both in the city and across the whole state,” Gingrich continued, speaking of Trump.  “And I think he also feels that this is a divine moment in the sense that we could really turn the country around, that Biden and Harris have made such a total mess.”

Trump’s rally on Long Island Wednesday night was held in the Nassau Coliseum, which has a capacity of 16,000. Thousands more reportedly watched on monitors outside the venue.

“It hasn’t been done for a long time, but we are going to WIN NEW YORK!” Trump vowed during his speech.
